Removal & Installation

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2003 BMW M5, 2003 BMW 540i, 2003 BMW 530i, 2003 BMW 525i, and 2002 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Apply pedal prop and depress brake pedal slightly. This prevents brake fluid from flowing out of expansion tank and into brake system when brake lines are opened.
  2. Suck the brake fluid out of the expansion tank. Use a suction device used exclusively for drawing off brake fluid.
  3. Unfasten brake hose from brake caliper. Ensure that square head screw on brake hose does not rotate in metal bracket. If necessary, brace the brake hose with mold grips.
  4. Brake pipes are only supplied straight, in correct length and fitted with connecting nipples. Bend new pipe as required using Bending Tool (34 5 100). Removed pipe can be used as template.
  5. If replacing front brake pipe, move wheels into straight-ahead position. Install new pipe and tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  6. Remove pedal prop and bleed brake system. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM .
